I have to share this picture with you today. Today has been cold, windy, raining and even SNOW! Yes. SNOW! Just as I was feeling a bit gloomy over the weather, in walks a bit of sunshine. This is Zach. I don't know Zach. I knew nothing about him before he walked in the door. But.... I know now that Zach is amazing! Zach must come from a wonderful family. He has a amazing mother. Zach came in today because his sister asked each of the siblings to create a Scrapbook page for their Mother for Mother's Day. So sweet Zach spent over a hour last night working on his first creation. He even turned down his wife offering to help. Didn't he do a great job?! I told him that he as the first "guy" to come in actually with a page in hand needing help. He was looking for some letter stickers to complete the page. He decided to add a flower to the top pink/red circle. Add a button to the center of the flower then add black ribbbon along the red strips along the left side. Very creative. So.... I told him I was going to spotlight him on my blog. Happy Mothers Day to Zach's Mom from North Carolina! Happy Mother's Day to each of you who have raised or are trying to raise fine young men like Zach! He is living proof that you can survive the endless wrestling, the holes in the doors, the many noises that come from their bodies, the constant obsessions with sports, girls and cars. (I don't know that order to list those in)

I was a little confused too! I had to look a few times to see if it was Teagan or Michael. I decided it definately was not your kids but still could not figure out who it was. I could have just read the post and known the story but that is not as fun as trying to figure it out for a minute! Way to go Zack! What a great Mother's Day gift!

Yeah, I definitely thought that was Teagan or Michael. I guess I know what they'll look like when they're older. What a good idea for a Mother's Day gift. That's pretty awesome that he put some much effort into it.

I am so glad that there is a glimmer of hope in the future. As a mother of 3 boys, and expecting another, I have wondered if all I do was in vain. Hopefully they will turn out okay dispite the daily brawls.

Ah, how sweet! I love seeing older boys that just love their Mom so much! Don't worry, Teagan and Michael are in the "Mom is a dork" stage, but soon they will be giving you great big hugs and making you a scrapbooking page for Mom's Day!
